As the founder and community organizer at TechTank (a 100% volunteer-run organization), my mission is to empower early-career developers and tech enthusiasts in Toronto. I'm passionate about creating opportunities for growth, learning, and networking, and to foster a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive tech community in Toronto.
Key Responsibilities:
•Program Development: Initiate and manage support programs for early-career developers, including 'Guppy Talks' virtual panel discussions and a job-search accountability buddy program.
•Event Organization: Curate a variety of events including in-person networking events, social meetups, tech workshops, online webinars, career-prep sessions, and inclusive spaces for women and non-binary folks in tech.
•Team Management: Guide a core team of volunteer admins in strategic planning and support activities for TechTank, aligning our initiatives with community needs.
•Community Partnerships: Collaborate with various tech hubs in Toronto to enhance community resources and opportunities, contributing to the growth of TechTank.
•Public Relations: Lead promotional efforts on platforms like LinkedIn, Meetup, and Slack, creating content that has effectively tripled event attendance, thereby significantly expanding our community reach and engagement.
